This Heart (Freestyle)

You put a gun to my head
Asking me to choose
Between you and my pride
And because I didn't know
Which one I wanted to lose
You pulled the trigger thus
Blowing God into my head
I sat in darkness while
He worked on my heart
At the end of those seven days
I had a funeral for my pride
My excuses and all the other chicks 
That I once chose over you
I then crawled back home asking
You to take me back but all
You saw was the shell of who
I used to be and because the word wasn't strong enough within me
I retreated to search out and find
The inner me while I was grinding
My heart was whining crying out
For you the Lord heard it's plea
And said enough was enough
Then released me to come home
But all you could still see was
The man I once was and all
I could see was my need for you
So I didn't let my light shine
Well here I am again trapped 
Between the threshold one foot out
While my heart is saying no way
You shouldn't leave so with
Nothing left to lose I'm going to
Show you what you stand to lose
Not just a poet, a lover or a husband
But a man crowded from God
Simply because of the work that
The Lord has done on this heart.
